Kia Motors America has signed on as premier brand sponsor. Song pages on imeem for Android will be outfitted with skins for the Kia Soul, the auto firm's latest SUV model. Kia Soul will also have a branded profile and ads throughout the offering.
imeem enables users to stream music on social networking profiles, save songs they like and share their audio finds with others. Earlier this year it purchased SNOCAP, a service that enables independent bands to control the online distribution of their music. SNOCAP has close ties to MySpace, which positions itself as the go-to socnet for indie bands.
